Let go of the past and trust God for today. If Peter had clung to his past, the only thing we would know about him is that he was a head strong, fiery and passionate disciple prior to Jesus’ arrest. Like Peter, receive God’s grace and forgiveness. Keep moving forward and keep your eyes on […]

Our value doesn’t come from what others may say about us. Our value comes from what God’s Word says about us. His Word says that we are created in God’s image. It also says that He loves us so much that He allowed His Son to go the cross to suffer in our behalf. You […]

Often the greatest sense of accomplishment, and even joy, comes after struggles. This is easier said than done, but as we face adversity be thankful knowing that joy will be there to meet us after we fight through our struggles. Struggling is not always a horrible thing.

It’s easy to give up. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and suggest to God, “I’m too weak, choose someone else.” You are where you are now for a reason. With God’s power, strength and compassion you can thrive where you are right now. ”You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the […]
